December is the end of the school year in New Zealand. Like the end of the school year in the States, there was one fun activity followed by another (although, maybe a few more than in the USA). This is island life, right? Each of the four children traveled to a local beach for a picnic and water fun with classmates. What could be more apt? On the last full day of school, we enjoyed a Christmas show put on at Warkworth Primary by the Years 1-3. Seeing baby Jesus on a public school stage reminded us that we are no longer in Cynwyd.
